Ragna-mail

Ragna-mails (ラグナメイル,Ragunameiru?) are a kind of mecha in the world ofCROSS ANGE Rondo of Angel and Dragon. An absolute weapon built by Embryo, capable of annihilating any force. Used to end war, the Convergence Space-time Cannons are mounted on both shoulders. When used the seven Ragna-mail destroyed all of civilization on the "Old World" [1].

Jill describes a Ragna-mail as "a mechanical angel of destruction and creation". Embryo claims that if all of the Ragna-mail and their mail riders are gathered it is possible to "destroy the world and create a new one".

Aside from Hysterica, the first Ragna-mail, all of them share the same basic design. They can be distinguished by the different colourings of their frames and their unique figureheads.

Ragna-mail can travel through space and time and were originally developed by Embryo and his research team to be dimensional probes who were supposed to be used to open doors to new worlds. After Embryo and the original Arzenal were stranded outside the original dimension, Embryo used them to influence the human world.

Arzenal Ragna-mail

After a long war, the Ancient Humans managed to steal a Ragna-mail from Embryo, the "EM-CBX007 Bilkis (The Primitive)". However, it was "locked", so that humans that predated the invention of Mana could not use it properly. Therefore, after the Ancient Humans discovered the existence of Arzenal, they formed an alliance with the Norma and gave it to them, hoping one of them could master it.

A special form of the Villkiss, expressed by the pilots feelings. There is a performance increase in acceleration to its limit, whereas it can possibly "dimension" leap beyond the speed of light. "Ariel" means an angel in charge of wind. Its armor changes to blue while in the form. [3]

A special form of the Villkiss, expressed by the pilots feelings. It captures the spatial phase energy in its surrounding, converting it to power for its equipment.
